Abstract
Follow-up questionnaires were sent four months after the program to 310 of the 2,521 who completed pre-program questionnaires as part of a 20-day televised smoking cessation program in the Puget Sound area of Washington State. Among the 142 respondents, 54% reported quitting for at least 24 hours, and 19% reported remaining abstinent continuously for four months. Participants were more likely to be female and have more previous quit attempts than nonparticipants. Initial quit attempts were more common among those who smoked less, were less nicotine dependent, and had more previous quit attempts. Maintained smoking was more common among those who had made more previous quit attempts and had support to quit among family and friends. Small sample size, low response rates, and short duration of follow-up limit the conclusions that can be drawn from the study.
